I was right there with you until you said “This is who Americans are. If this isn’t your America, you don’t belong here. Don’t turn your country over to a president who is anything less.” At that point I realized that this whole article was a dog whistle for racists who would say something like “yeah, his middle name is Huessein, he must be one of them blah blah blah.” I think THAT is a shame. I don’t know what is worse, the fact that you would deny that you turned a piece about how the trauma that came out of September 11 made us a very united country into a veiled attack on your president, or that you might not even be consciously aware that that is what you did.

I am a true American. I love my country. You have no right to spout conspiracy theories and then claim I am irrational. And anyone who says things like “If this isn’t your America, you don’t belong here” DOES NOT GET what this country is.

Excellent comment.
This is the same perception that gave birth to the ‘Greatest Generation’.
We lived it, not just on a Pearl Harbor Day, but day in & day out, month after month, and year after years.

The Greatest Generation (WWII Era) handed down their patriotism to Baby Boomers. Then came sixty radicals that everyone thought would eventually grow up. Instead we find them and deadly vermin kinship in our White House. It is time to clean House this November! Thank you for the contributions you and your generation made to the greatest country on earth. Let’s keep the U.S.A. “the shining city on the hill” that it has always been. God bless America.

Obama was less than 10 years old when the 60s ended. He is hardly a 60s radical.
By the way, Mitt Romney was old enough to be a 60s radical and wasn’t…but was old enough to be a soldier during Vietnam. I keep looking for his service record but can’t seem to find it anywhere. Any suggestions?

Jon, if you understand who Obama surrounds himself with, they are 1960 throwbacks to the Viet Nam “revolution” era, which, if you also look into that history, is tightly woven into “anti-colonialization” as is Obama. Bill Ayers comes immediately to mind and don’t bother with the usual denials, I’ve heard them & researched them. It is the same era from whence Obama’s Mother came. When you find the plethora of Obama missing records, I’ll tell you where to find his oppoents’. How’s that for “fair share?” I’m not here to argue. You will believe what you will believe, which my latest article addresses. YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jvS1deWAXYg . If you watch the full version it well documents precisely that of which I’ve spoken.

Jon @ September 12, 2012 at 6:12 pm: Ayers and Dohrn are known nationally as two of the most notorious and unrepentant figures from the violent fringe of the 1960s anti-war movement.

In 1989 Bernadine Dohrn and Michelle Obama were associates at the Chicago law firm of Sidley & Austin, when Obama joined as a summer intern.

Obama was an employee of Bill Ayers for 8 years starting in 1995, the year the Chicago Annenberg Challenge was created. One of its architects was Professor Bill Ayers. Ayers proudly lists himself co-founder. Ayers help select Barack Obama as the first Chairman of the Board of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge.

In November 1997 Ayers and Obama participated in a panel at the University of Chicago entitled “Should a child ever be called a ‘super predator?'”

In April 2002 Ayers, Dohrn, and Obama, then an Illinois State Senator, participated at a conference entitled “Intellectuals: Who Needs Them?”

Ayers is the Board Chairman of the nonprofit Woods Fund of Chicago and Obama was a Board member. Obama was a director of the Woods Fund board from 1999 to Dec. 11, 2002.

I could go on, but as my latest article describes, you will believe only what you want to believe regardless of the proof given you.
